I use coconut wifi for this: http://coconut-flavour.com/coconutwifi/

I use Marco Polo to switch it on when I’m not near an access point that I know and to switch it off again when I am.

I tried this app for about a week on my Macbook (1GB RAM) and found the airport menu significantly slower with the plugin than without it. The details are useful, but the speed decrease prompted me to uninstall.

Ah.. Nice – right in the airport menu, where i want it.

As far as “why” – It’s the only app that does it that way as far as i know…

Everything else apps all sortsa clutter to my mac.

I love this. Good find !

@ mdmunoz: Believe it or not, I have been using this app for a couple of weeks; it's part of my "Let's See What Apps I Have In My Menu Bar" series. But, you're right, Pogue did write about this recently, as did LifeHacker. But, no, I did not see it there... I decided to post about it on my own. Weird coincidence, huh?

This is a really useful app, especially for those who consistently find themselves using random WiFi access points (e.g. starbucks)
